I'm going to dismiss all the conspiracy theories and criticism as COVID CRAZY and clear the air. If Washington has a season, it's going to be late Spring. Pushing the season out that far will conflict with freestyle season. Washington has always been competitive in Greco-Roman and Freestyle with dual teams, Fargo, World teams... By not having that season at all last year it robbed some kids of some big opportunities. In addition, Washington always has several kids that potentially could be wrestling in college. If you're one of those kids and you're sitting around waiting on Inslee to give you permission to wrestle...good luck with that. It's real easy to fall out of wrestling shape and realize how much you enjoy things like food, video games, sleeping in... Unless you're banking on student Loan forgiveness still being a thing, you might also want to look at the current and rising costs for tuition. If you're still waiting for Inslee's permission to wrestle your Tinder account is a better bet than a scholarship. Hate all you want on the kids, parents, coaches and programs that are making it possible. It's got nothing to do with team titles and everything to do with development and forward progress. North Idaho is a stones throw away from Spokane and the surrounding area. We'll take Burnett, Bundy, Roberts, Owens the Moffitts...every time. Drew and Gunner aren't bad to hang out with either! On top of all that, if you don't appreciate where you live you should spend 2 years in NJ. I've always told my son that what he does off the mat is just as important, as what he does on the mat. Lots of knowledge and plenty of comic relief that comes with those coaches but what they do when they're not wrestling aligns well with the Rogers family! Happy to see my kid's wrestling getting better every day and really enjoy seeing him grinning again!
